A Montgomery County deputy constable this week uncovered 122 grams of methamphetamine when he stopped a speeding pickup truck in Splendor, officials said Friday.

About 6 p.m. Wednesday, the Precinct 4 deputy constable pulled over a Ford F-150 on the northbound feeder road of Highway 59 near East River Road, officials said.

In addition to the methamphetamine - stored in baggies for individual sale - the deputy constable also found a semi-automatic pistol, authorities said.

The driver, Nathan Wells, 34, and passenger Jennifer Dayton, 26, both from Cleveland, were taken into custody and charged with manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance. Bail is set at $50,000.
